  1. The last 40 minutes of "10 Cloverfield Lane" (2016)  Thank you Wikipedia for not letting me waste my time with people in a bunker with Cabin Fever.  OMG, what a lame ending, all of man's advance weapons, it only took a Molotov cocktail to take the alien along with it's ship out?

    I don't think Hollywood has gone through the long list of old TV shows and CARTOONS to make live-action movies of yet.  For instance....

    What now aging(and aged) baby boomer wouldn't pay to go see an "R" rated movie fashioned after( and called) GILLIGAN'S ISLAND?  

    And as far as Del Toro announcing "remakes" and not following through....

    Well, at least you know his NAME, don'tcha?  ;)

    A live version of Space Ghost would be interesting.

    But an R rated version of "Gilligan's Island"?  Gilligan doing Mary Ann...the horror. :lol:

  3. A joke of a horror movie "The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy" (1957) Where is the key to wind the "robot" up? :lol:

    Solution to the mummy, petrol and a match.  Man with the wrinkled face, a large jar of moisturizer.  Geeze this guy would scare better.

    Which means it's only 40% likely to happen. Del Toro is notorious for being attached to/announced for movies that never happen or that he drops out of: The HobbitFrankenstein, PinocchioAt the Mountains of Madness, etc. etc. IMDb doesn't even list Fantastic Voyage for him, although it lists both Pinocchio and a remake of Nightmare Alley, both of which haven't gone before the camera as of yet.

     

    Might explain this conflicting Youtube video, I can't confirm.

    It's from my favorite vaudeville team, Shelton & Howard. They excelled with material like this. I know probably two dozen of these zingers by heart.

    "My goil-friend has teeth like pearls...but, they need re-stringing"

    "That's nothin, my goil has 'western teeth'. Western teeth? Yeah...wide-open-spaces."

    I've only seen one vaudeville dual, "Shaw and Lee - The Beau Brummels" on disc 3 on "The Jazz Singer" special edition release which is a collection of Vitaphone shorts.

    Most of their song was about a girl ...she was four eyes, all sort of eyes...

    Trivia, there's a myth movies killed vaudeville, actually it was sound that did it in.  Silents had no effect.

    On the "Jazz Singer" disc #2, it was noted Shaw and Lee didn't know they were helping to cut their own throats by appearing in the Vitaphone short.

    I call my best goil, 'my melancholy baby' (she's got a head like a melon, a face like a collie, and one tooth like a baby).

    Her ancestors came west in a covered wagon (if you saw her ancestors, you'd know why the wagon was covered)

     

    What movie this quote is from?

  7. "Battle For Sevastopol" (2015)  speaking to the media and others in Chicago after tearing up the Soviet ready made speech, in her own words asking for a 2nd front in Europe....

    Lyudmila Pavlichenko....... Gentlemen, I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascist invaders by now. Don't you think, gentlemen, that you have been hiding behind my back for too long?

  8. "Battle for Sevastopol" (2015), just purchased the DVD.  Movie is quite good, one has to get use to the Russian style of film making and the subtitles.  British actress Joan Blackham portrayed Mrs Roosevelt very well. Lyudmila Pavlichenko while at the White House panic when a frying pan was dropped showing the sign of PTSD.  This admission on film definitely would not been shown during the Soviet era.

    Unlike "American Sniper" (Zzzz) this sniper film tallied up the body count. You don't see actors being macho or "gun ho" like in many American films

    Seems to be 3 genders, men women and fascist. :lol:

    Lyudmila Pavlichenko, circa 1942  News media labeled her "Lady Death".

  9. "Fantastic Voyage" (1966) on the FXM channel.  Been a long time since I've seen it, unedited and in 2.35 widescreen.

     

    Special effects is great but some stuff is showing advance age.  It has a lot of problems....wallpaper of cells, each suppose to be ALIVE. Miniaturization needed to be explained better because if atoms are shrunk, one couldn't use the surrounding air - their atoms would be MUCH larger, blood cells are translucent, antibodies don't react that fast to a foreign invader especially if it's new and not recognized.  White blood cells don't eat metal so why didn't the Proteus deminiaturized turning the movie into a horror film because it be bursting from the scientist head! :o

    A remake is being filmed. Should be interesting.
